In Part I of this lecture, we examined the systematic 120-year campaign against the Jews being perpetrated by major global players under the guise of “antizionism,” beginning with the notorious antisemitic forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and working through the Nazis, the Soviets, the Islamists, and the Western progressives. In Part II, we’ll review that material, advance it with a close look at the rhetorical methods anti-Zionists use to propagandize against Jews, then close by officially announcing a new academic enterprise aiming to document, analyze, and combat the global campaign against the Jews: The Institute for the Critical Study of Antizionism.
